The government has allowed tremendous consolidation in ownership of the airwaves during the past decade. The large media players stand to gain billions of dollars in profits if the Obama administration continues to allow monopoly ownership of the airwaves by a handful of players. The media giants know who butters their bread. So there is a spoken or tacit agreement: if the media cover the administration in a favorable light, the MSM will continue to be the receiver of the government's goodies.

Rather pointed out that “roughly 80 percent” of the media is controlled by no more than six, and possibly as few as four, corporations.

This is only newsworthy because Rather said it. This fact has been documented for years, as shown by the following must-see charts prepared by:

Every dictatorship has a controlled press. Are enough of us informed and prepared to speak the facts that are before all of us to verify in order to break this evil government? Is there a split in their ranks that we can separate and use against those who remain evil, such as supporting Israel's Concentration Camp in Gaza? Are we ready to claim our American heritage and revolt against these tyrants who kill and torture under our flag with our money?

I believe we're ready. We have about a million people in the know. Hopefully we have enough of us in military leadership and local law enforcement. As I've discovered that you've written, Truth and Reconciliation is the way forward to maximize those choosing to build a brighter future TOGETHER rather than continuing to serve the fascist master race that acts in so many ways to enslave us. As Franklin said, the time has come for us to hang together, or surely we shall all hang seperately.

Of course Rather has lots of credibility when it comes to "quality journalism" after reporting in 1963 that Kennedy's head "rocketed forward" from the head shot in Dallas. He'd probably still be saying that if he hadn't been disproven by the release of the Zapruder film.

Conservative sheeple prefer the media consolidated like this - much less confusing to find the proper way of thinking about things. Plus, they have their authoritarian source for information anyway - FAUX NOOS. Just like the Bible, if Bill O'Really? says it it must be true.

The corporate media is doing a great job...They always let us know what Britney Spears and Paris Hilton is wearing and saying...Who wants to know about how the Bush/Obama global terrorist crime cartel is perpetrating genocide around the world?
